What we are not

Oh, meant to say. One of our authors pointed me in the direction of a forum post in which someone accused Snowbooks of directing rejected authors to a manuscript editing service, which they think is a scam we're running to lure people in to paying us money.

Er, we're not. Any more questions?

Maybe the confusion arose due to a comment in a 2004 interview Snowbooks did for WriteWords?:

Q: How do you respond to unsolicited work?

A: We welcome all work and we try our damnedest to get back to authors quickly, honestly and constructively. Sometimes authors don’t appreciate our comments but for the most part we’ve got very good feedback (so far) with requests for proofreading and editing services!


Not quite a scam, though, is it?


It's only a scam if you have an affiliation to the editing service, or if you get a kickback for the referral.


As one of your humble rejected authors, I would like to say that no attempt was made to sell me any services that your company may provide.


Oh Pam, you are kind to comment.
